Chapter 593: Dragons, Dragons, Dragons
Why did Xue Hanlei come here?
Of course, to find out the situation.
She is a playful person and realized that she got herself into a tricky situation.
Blind dates are just a cover, that’s what she thought. She’s afraid that Ao Hanli might take it seriously, and she’s also afraid that Bai Wei might take it seriously.
This matter must be resolved quickly. It would be best for everyone to have an open and honest discussion.
She, on the other hand, is the most innocent one.
As she arrived at the door and knocked, the first question from the other side was, "Are you here for a blind date too?"
Also?
Xue Hanlei took a half step forward, looked inside, and immediately noticed the woman’s shoes left in the entrance.
"Goodbye."
She immediately turned around to leave.
Then a heartless iron hand held her back, pressing gently on her shoulder and pulling her back.
"Sister, since you’re here, why go back?" Ao Hanli said softly. "Come in quickly, we’re only waiting for you."
Xue Hanlei said irritably, "Do you think this is a mahjong game? Why are all of you gathering here? Organizing some kind of debauchery…"
"I’m not, I didn’t! Don’t say things randomly," Ao Hanli shook her head. "I just came to visit early."
"Visit my foot…" Xue Hanlei couldn’t believe that Ao Hanli would really marry into the Bai family. Her mind couldn’t comprehend it, unless she experienced a drastic change in her understanding of human emotions like Ying Mu did.
She happened to see Ying Mu inside and immediately choked. Then she lowered her voice and asked puzzledly, "What’s going on? Is there a ceasefire? Why aren’t you pulling each other’s hair?"
"We already did," Ao Hanli said.
"Who lost?"
"The table lost."
"?"
Xue Hanlei couldn’t keep up with this sudden change of topic and immediately noticed Yagyū Simozi’s unhappy face.
Being the most emotionally intelligent person present, she quickly reached a conclusion.
No one dared to easily offend Yagyū Simozi. As someone who adored her brother, Simozi couldn’t just sit back and watch these few unfamiliar women compete for attention and make her brother remain silent. It was only a matter of time before she got angry.
"Maybe we should leave early." Xue Hanlei suddenly felt like retreating. She had come at the wrong time. "If we don’t leave soon, the situation will be impossible to handle."
"No, you came at just the right time." By now, Bai Wei had already fixed the table halfway and was using golden resin to fill the gaps. His soft voice echoed. Without you stirring up trouble, my house wouldn’t be so lively. Either you jump into the fire pit and put out the fire yourself, or I’ll charge up there right now and give you a bear hug, kicking you into the fire pit. You can choose one.
Xue Hanlei’s eyes narrowed, gnashing her teeth. "White-surnamed person, are you trying to die with me?"
"Hey, isn’t this all because of you? Why are you setting me up on a blind date? Since you made fun of others, don’t blame them for making fun of you." Bai Wei expertly turned the tables on him with this move.
"But I’m married!"
"Yeah, Mrs., you don’t want to betray both your marriage and your sister, right?"
Xue Hanlei rested her hand on her forehead. This person had been in Yingzhou for quite a while now, and their thought process had slowly become abnormal.
Alright, alright, I’ll handle this mess.
Xue Hanlei thought it wasn’t difficult to resolve, as long as she took Ao Hanli and Ying Mu away at the same time. But this would only be a temporary solution, not addressing the root issue.
"Let me introduce myself, I am Hanli’s older sister… Xue Hanlei, from my hometown Huaishui." Xue Hanlei said. I also know Miss Yagyū.
Yagyū Simozi frowned. So you were the one who set up the blind date, Xue classmate?
"Not Ying Mu," Xue Hanlei said, indicating she could take the blame, but only half of it.
"So, why did you come?" Yagyū Simozi’s voice was calm but somewhat eerie. "Do you also want to dance?"
"Dance…?"
"They just said they were going to the dance studio to fight, I thought you might want to join in too."
"… " Xue Hanlei glanced at the still aloof Ao Hanli and the suddenly wild Ying Mu, feeling a faint pain in her stomach.
What can I do in this situation?
"I didn’t come to join them." Xue Hanlei clarified her purpose. "I came to talk to him about something, I have no idea what it is, but they’re here too."
… If I knew, I wouldn’t have come to give it to him. I would have found a spot across the street and opened my binoculars to watch the show.
"What is it?"
"It’s a secret." Xue Hanlei thought for a moment and threw a bait. "Well… maybe not really, but considering that the Bai family was attacked a few days ago, I believe you should have the right to know about it."
Bai Xinghui immediately asked. What does it have to do with my family being attacked?
Xue Hanlei glanced at Ao Hanli, then at Ying Mu, and told them to remove their disguises, "Both of you, stop pretending. If you want to fight, do it openly. There’s no need to hide."
"Sister…" Ao Hanli hesitated.
Ying Mu didn’t show any expression and took off her disguise, "I also think there’s no need to continue hiding. There’s nothing to be ashamed of."
Ao Hanli had no choice but to raise her hand and lightly touch her forehead, dispersing the mist.
The two dragon maidens’ facial features hardly changed, but they gained the distinctive appearance of dragon maidens: dragon scales, deer antlers, and amber vertical pupils.
Bai Xinghui stood up in shock and exclaimed. You… you’re dragons?
"I come from the East Sea, Ao Hanli."
"I come from Chao Lake, Ying Mu."
"I come from Huaishui, Xue Hanlei."
The three dragon maidens introduce themselves, "We are all members of the Dragon Clan from the Eastern Sea."
Bai Xinghui looked at Bai Wei. "Big brother, do you know?"
By now, Bai Wei had fixed the table. The sunlight shone on it, reflecting a golden glow. With a +10 table, it definitely won’t break easily. He leisurely poured a cup of tea, blew on the steam, and casually nodded.
Why didn’t you say anything!" Bai Xinghui thought to herself, "This is a huge deal. If Grandpa and Uncle find out, it would be serious.
Bai Wei confidently replied. You never asked.
Bai Xinghui sat back on the couch. She used to think that her family was well off, but now she felt that something was not right. No wonder they had the highest quality ocean sapphire as soon as they made a move. They were indeed a wealthy family… The Dragon Clan from the Eastern Sea, a part of the Four Seas Group, the world’s richest and most abundant group, with wealth continuously accumulating. Each member of the Dragon Clan was a super rich family.
"You know too?" Bai Xinghui asked Simozi.
Yagyū replied. I know, I’ve heard… The Dragon Clan from the Eastern Sea, are they powerful?
"Of course…" Bai Xinghui also wanted to educate the other person.
"If they are really so amazing, why are they competing to marry him?" Yagyū Simozi calmly asked.
Bai Xinghui was certain in her mind. Indeed.
It’s my shallowness.
If there really is a mountain of gold in this world, why do foreign ships come to our own port? Maybe we are already standing on the mountain of gold.
She looked at the table radiating golden light, and she believed even more that her brother was definitely a gold mine. Is this the treasure boy?
"Who is competing?" Ao Hanli said lightly, "I was first, do I still need to compete?"
Ying Mu said lightly, "What about your sister?"
"I can let you."
"If it’s not yours, just pretend it is yours. You’re so good at sharing, aren’t you worthy of a key?" Ying Mu mocked disdainfully.
Xue Hanlei had a headache, "As you can see, even within the Eastern Sea Dragon Clan, individuals don’t get along well with each other."
Bai Xinghui shook her head, more concerned about another matter, "What caused the attack?"
"All I can say is that it was our enemy from the Eastern Sea, someone who harmed Bai Wei and also affected all of you."
"Our enemy from the Eastern Sea? But how did they connect with our older brother?"
"In order to help the Eastern Sea, Bai Wei incurred two favors, which naturally offended another power," explained Xue Hanlei reasonably, "That’s why I think a marriage alliance is the most suitable. If we marry into their family, the Eastern Sea can protect the Bai family, making our enemy afraid and hesitant…"
"Me," Ao Hanli pointed to herself, it was obvious.
Bai Xinghui understood. So, that’s how it is. I understand everything now.
…No, no, no, you don’t understand anything at all.
Bai Wei, Ao Hanli, Xue Hanlei, and Ying Mu all agreed in their hearts.
This is just an official explanation, meant to divert attention and hide the real underlying conflicts. The truth is much more complicated than this explanation. In the end, it’s all because Bai Wei has a high success rate in matching pairs that caused trouble.
"So this is a political marriage," Bai Xinghui said with seriousness, and then she asked directly and accurately, "Does this mean that as long as we eliminate that certain force, the engagement between my brother and your party can be completely cancelled?"
Before others had a chance to react, they heard Bai Xinghui calmly add. If all of you genuinely care for my brother, as his younger sister, I naturally have no objections. But if there are ulterior motives behind this political marriage, I will firmly oppose it. The interests of the family should not and cannot be built on the sacrifice of my brother’s happiness.
"I didn’t know before, but now that I do, I strongly oppose it. I will convince Grandfather to cancel this engagement."
"That’s enough for today. Everyone from the Eastern Sea Dragon Clan, please go back."
The order to depart had been given, cutting through the confusion.
Bai Wei thought to himself, Xinghui is really attractive.
